Treasure-Filled Warrior's Grave Found in Russia

This gold plaque, with mounted agate, would have been attached to the sheath of a short iron sword. It is less than 2 inches across.

Hidden in a necropolis situated high in the mountains of the Caucasus in Russia, researchers have discovered the grave of a male warrior laid to rest with gold jewelry, iron chain mail and numerous weapons dating back more than 2,000 years.
